I think from the perspective that - the metric system for storing values in the database is not default - the "normal user" shouldn't get in touch with database values und "normal circumstances" - hence, the vast majority of installations will not use the metric system in the db

It would be useful to know what the ISP means by "maintenance." Perhaps they require a secure form of FTP now? If you have already been using FTPS, some server/Python combinations have issues supporting it. See the options secure_data and reuse_ssl in the User's Guide [[FTP]] section

Unfortunately (for you), WeeWX mostly uses observation type "rain", the amount of rain that fell since the last loop packet (what you are calling "instantaneous rain"). You should assign the rain since midnight to type "dayRain". Then calculate "rain" as the difference between successive "dayRain

Ignore the version in weewx.conf, it's where your .conf file started with (notionally) - the one you see in syslog is the running version. I'd suggest you install rsyslog and copy the util/rsyslog/weewx.conf file into place (and reset rsyslog) and then you'll have traditional syslogging rather

Followup on this one - If the original poster can check to see if their database uses the old original (small) wview schema that would likely help. Easiest way is to look to see how many elements are in the database. One way to see how many elements you have in your db would be: - cp weewx.
